Health Carousel International’s Employee of the Year – 2025

Jhan Raphaella A., RN

At Health Carousel International (HCI), Employee of the Year recognition honors a healthcare professional whose influence is felt across an entire year of care. For 2025, we are proud to recognize Jhan Raphaella for her outstanding dedication, leadership, and compassion.

Originally from the Philippines and now practicing in Maine, Jhan brings her expertise in medical-surgical and intensive care nursing to some of the most complex patient situations. Throughout the year, she has consistently demonstrated strong clinical judgment, empathy, and a commitment to teamwork.

“Moments when patients recover or families feel supported remind me why nursing matters.”

Jhan’s pride in nursing comes from seeing the tangible difference her care makes—whether through a patient’s recovery, a family’s reassurance, or a moment of stability during critical illness. Her approach reflects balance: confidence in her skills, humility in learning, and dedication to collaboration.

Being named Employee of the Year recognizes not just a single moment, but a pattern of excellence sustained throughout the year. Jhan’s contributions reflect the values at the core of HCI—service, growth, and compassion delivered with consistency and heart.
